3.6 Eisenbahn-Frachtstempelmarkeri
- Railway Freight Stamps (Free State).
These stamps were used to pay small amounts of freight fees. All the issues up to 1924 were made up of German freight tax stamps overprinted with the word "Danzig" and a large letter 'E'. The basic stamps come in many shades as a result of either being from different printings or simply being faded colours.

1921 issue: with black gothic overprint Danzig, on the top of the stamp, wirh different types of 'a' , 'z' and 'g' and wide letter 'E', 6 mm.

1922 issue: with black gothic overprint Danzig, below medallion and narrow letter 'E', 5 mm.
